    I actually feel like i would want something stiffer. To even out the softness of the 5100s

    The progressive AAL gives lift from the thickness of the pack. It doesn't add spring rate.

    I can tell you my 3+1 TSB plus single AAL only squats an inch with a full bed of camping gear and my 17' trailer hooked up.

    Really? So in order to add stiffness in the back an added leaf won't help? I would need an entirely new leaf pack?

    There are two different types of aal, single and progressive. What you’re looking for is a single. It’s inexpensive, and you achieve lift because it’s one thick leaf with a bunch of arch. You throw that in your leaf pack and it gives it more arch giving you lift. It will firm up the ride a little bit.

    Gotcha, same premise as coils. Who makes a decent single AAL with the least amount of lift
